Objective
The recent spectacular economic growth in the developed countries has provoked a debate on the role and remuneration of human capital in development. From the neoclassical point of view flexibility of any form should be introduced to help equalize marginal productivity with wages and thus increase investments. But from an evolutionary perspective objections are raised to the extent that flexibility, defined only through labour market regulation, can contribute to socially and economically sustainable development: it jeopardizes variety and selection and reduces innovativeness and competitiveness.
The present study tries to shed some light on how flexibility links with employment on the one hand and long term competitiveness on the other by introducing
a) Alternative notions of flexibility at the macro, mesa and micro-level
b) Relevant performance variables in different countries.
The expected result is to better understand how various forms of flexibility relate to business and overall economic performance, by examining variables like growth, firm organisation and propensity to innovate.
